I thought some of the answers were 'judgement' calls. For instance,
the emailed .exe's...I wouldn't consider opening one unless it was in
a 'sandbox' like a virtual machine. We deal with a lot of attachments
at work, but the .exe's never see the light of day.

Another is the question about the principal drawback of AV apps. For
myself, the system resouces issue is right up there with reliance on
defs and heuristics. But then, I'm not a high-risk user who's typically
infected. And after my recent experience with SAV 10.1, there should've
been a choice about poorly-written buggy apps.

A malicious app that sends itself to all contacts in an address book?
That's not spyware? Technically I guess it better describes a virus,
but I think the line's been sufficiently blurred between viruses and spyware
this one could go either way.

Question 10: emails from your bank? The truly correct answer isn't there.
No bank is going to send you an email asking you to log into your online
acc't via a link. Period. One should not ever consider accessing an
online acc't via an email. Especially on December 20th.

Accessing the internet via hotel wifi? The best protectrion isn't even
there: VPN. If nothing else, run JanusVM when on wifi hotspots.

And then there's their definition of a hacker. Another judgement call.
